Why be concerned with what the world court thinks. Nobody thinks they have any jurisdiction over anything and certainly not the Russians.
Can't the Rustskis copy anyone else's airplanes. Paint this one OD and it turns back into a C5!
For all you uninformed; the company has a bond debt for over $1.7 BILLION! Can you guess who has the Bond on the loan? If you guess a United States bank you win the booby prize. Seizing the plane, thus halting the company’s revenue will likely cause a default on the loan. So who are the real losers?
Exact Fred, it's like the 550 Airbuses and Boeings leased to Russian airlines which are now grounded. Russia stopped paying the leases, the planes are sitting on Russian soil and the western leasing companies are on the verge of bankruptcies.
Without maintenance and spare parts they won't be able to be flown out of Russia.
Same for 45 Airbuses on order by Russian airlines. Orders have been cancelled pure and simple.
What about the European Space Agency? the 6 launches of 2022 are cancelled because Russia is not supplying the Soyouz rockets for the launches. Russia recalled the 110 Russian specialists who worked in French Guyana on the launching pad.
Europe has no heavy launcher until Ariane 6 is produced and tested.
So how to do the pickup of astronauts at the ISS? Only option: Space X but Elon Musk is supporting the Russians.
Another boomerang is the Russian Process rocket used to readjust the ISS orbit. If not readjusted periodically the ISS slowly looses altitude then would reenter the atmosphere and would burn.
Meanwhile all the far-eastern airlines have flying back and forth over Russia between the far-east and Europe. They picke up all the traffic.
Lufthansa CEO said European airlines could not compete by adding 2.5 hours flight time at today's jet fuel cost.
So Asians are laughing all the way to the banks.

Elon Musk is supporting the Russians???? Maybe some facts need checking? https://fortune.com/2022/03/10/tesla-email-ukraine-russia-invasion-starlink-spacex-elon-musk/
I think Space X is good for ISS
I think Space X is good for ISS
Space X has no contract with the European Space Agency.
Hardly! Wasn’t MH 17 that was shot down over Ukraine some years ago an ASIAN airline?
Ask the Malaysians if they’re laughing, I highly doubt it!

MH17 may have been shot down by an Ukrainian missile. You may have missed the latest results of the investigation.

The constructor of the BUK missile confirmed MH17 was shot down by an older model BUK 1 operational in Ukraine. Russia does not have anymore this type of missile. They used the BUK 2 at the time of the accident.
Photos of BUK 1 in Ukraine have resurfaced.

Well, comrade, the Daily Mail article you refer to is nothing but film of BUK missiles being transported - absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the latest results of the investigation. Also, the BBC link is to an article from 6 years ago, talking about the various conspiracy theories doing the rounds at the time. It certainly doesn't draw any conclusions but does mainly debunk most of these theories. And much more evidence has come to light since the date of that report.
You, sir, are just trying to introduce a few red herrings and make yourself sound like an authority on the subject when you clearly are not.

It’s funny how the conspiracy theorists of yesterday become the truth revealers of today.
No conspiracy theories here! This is real, just ask th3 Netherlands and Australia.
